Just beat SoulSilver. I have completed the Johto and Kanto region now. Sorry I haven't posted my last few days of work, but I will recap tomorrow. I'm tired tonight and I have an audition tomorrow so I will just state the main points of my day's achievements.

Main achievements of Day 4-

-Caught another fire type. Slugma, I nicknamed him slugball
- Defeated my rival again at Mt. Moon
- Beat 4-8 gym in Kanto region
- Defeated Elite 4 again
- Defeated Red


Game beat time 16 :47

Final team:

Spoiler:


I used a spearow to fly around, and I never hatched the egg. I used mostly furball, my typhlosion for battling. I would've used slugma more, but I caught him so late in the game that there wasn't much point. The hardest battle for me in the game was beating Lance that second time.

I'm going for the ultimate fire monotype challenge now. Wish me luck!

I'm currently working in the Sinnoh region. Question, since I beat SS shouldn't I have beaten the kanto and johto regions? Also, I'll recap my adventure of SSS today. :)

No. Because you haven't defeated the Kanto elite four and champion. You only defeated the Johto elite and champion, and the true champion red. If we counted gsc hgss as Kanto then no one would play rby frlg, which is part of what this challenge is meant to be.

Onto stage 2 of my UMC Poison. Started off Johto on Crystal version.

- Chose Totodile for starter
- When possible, caught Spinarak for my first Poison type
- Caught a Zubat, cause he randomly appeared
- Since I'd set the clock to night time, caught 2 Ghastly's, named Casper II and Spooks
- Grinded up both in Sprout Tower (against their fellow Ghastly) until both learned curse
- Defeated Falkner! Fairly simple with Curse+Hypnosis
Zephyr_Badge.png


Got through Union Cave, boxing Totodile, Spinarak and Zubat since I like a streamlined team.
- Defeated Rockets fairly easily
- Defeated Gym with ease, only moves to affect me in the whole episode were Poison Sting and Fury Cutter

Got through Ilex Forest, taught HM (Totodile) Cut, also withdrew Spinarak to help defeat the Normal Type pokemon just after Ilex Forest
- Defeated trainers in the Underground
- Realised that Nidoran male is only able to be caught during the day, so decided to stop.

Until next time folks! Here's the current team

Update 2:

Kanto 3/8 Johto 0/16 Hoenn 0/8

Cleared St. Anne and got Cut.
Found out that Rattata can't learn cut in Gen 1. I'm pretty sure it can in later gens.
Caught Diglett and Sandshrew looking for something that could cut.
Attempted Gym. Went... okay, but had to use HM Slaves to finish off the Raichu.

Team: Wartortle, Lv. 35, Tackle, Bite, Bubble, Water Gun
Gyarados, Lv. 22, Tackle, Splash, Bite

OK, made some progress on Gold, Got 7/16 gym badges, currently in the Goldenrod radio tower taking down Team Rocket. It's been really fun, especially as I've never played Gold before! :D Gone for a small team, as the level curve hikes quite drastically late on it seems, so I'm gonna try and focus my experience so I can get up to Red's level as quickly as possible.

Current team:
Bernard the Feraligatr - Lv 34
Roland the Quagsire - Lv 34
Peter the Staryu - Lv 34 (Dunno if I'm being stupid, but can't find a Water Stone anywhere)
Steve? the Gyarados - Lv 34

I've decided recurring team members will keep their names, with slight changes :P

Unova Normal Challenge Update 1​

This is my first Monotype challenge so I was really excited to get this whole thing started.

To start off, I got rid of my Snivy as soon as I could, and got my first pokemon: Mara the Patrat.

After beating my Rival at the ranch, I picked up my second pokemon: Sprocket the Pidove

I spent awhile on Cheren, but managed to beat him using an X-attack and quick attack.

Im currently in Virbank city, grinding up my pogeymanz


Current Team:

I finished up my Red portion of my Fire mono a few days ago, but never got to updating, I haven't started Platinum yet, but probably will tonight or tomorrow.

I didn't take any pics because I'm lazy. :P
Anyways, I beat Gary with my team of:

Charizard Lv.52
-Flamethrower
-Slash
-Swords Dance
-Earthquake

Arcanine Lv.49
-Flamethrower
-Body Slam
-Dig
-Take Down

Flareon Lv.50
-Ember
-Double-Edge(yay, high attack)
-Hyper Beam(yay, high attack, again)
-Toxic

Obviously Charizard got the most use. I'll update Platinum with a lot more detail, and kirax7, I hope you don't mind, I'll use your method of detail, with the difficulty ratings and stuff, I like the way you update. :D

Ultimate Fighting Monotype Challenge HeartGold Update #1

Name: Huggs
Starter: Champ the Cyndaquil
Rival: Muggs

-Champ took on the first two gym leaders with no issue. In fact, the part that gave him the most trouble was the rival fight right before Ilex Forest, which took a couple tries to get right
-Went into Ilex Forest, taught Champ Headbutt, then went back to Azalea Town to catch the first real member of the team, Ringo the Heracross
-Realized I kind of messed up by using Champ to beat Bugsy, because I could have caught a Poliwag with the Old Rod beforehand. Quickly headed back to Violet City to catch Asha, the next member of the team
-Caught a Drowzee on Route 34 then traded him in the Goldenrod Department Stote for my old friend Muscle the Machop
-Whitney wasn't hard but it was annoying. Damn flinch hax.
-Got to Ecruteak City

Wow, this sure got a lot more pages since I last saw it. It was like 11 pages.

It's nice to see someone took over the original post, that last person was inactive.

Seeing my username in the ultimate challenge champion list is making me thinking of starting up another one. I already have all the first gyms done for bug and dark type, with a few of dragons first gyms. Probably Bug since I've never used a bug-type outside of those times.
